Graded Outstanding by Ofsted

After delivering the Teaching and Learning History into Writing course on an INSET day at Grange Primary School in Ealing in January 2014, they completely changed and adopted the new style of delivering History. The new plans were done the very next day with my support and advice. It was from these very plans that the Year 4 teacher was graded Outstanding for a World War 2 lesson only one month later.'Our History lessons were graded Outstanding – so thanks to you!' - Graham Beeden Headteacher
